Do you want to share your result? politics You are in charge of extending part of a highway. One day, workers find Aboriginal artefacts. What do you do next? Only carry on after I've sent a letter to the local Aboriginal Land Council. Find out which Aboriginal people are responsible for this area and consult with them to find out what we can do. There is no legal obligation to inform Aboriginal people since the artefacts are more than 200 years old. Consult with the Minister for Indigenous Affairs to learn about best practice for this case. Politicians don't like to consult. But consultation works, because the local Aboriginal people know far better what to do and what works than a politician in Canberra. politics Aboriginal people are protesting for self-determination in your electorate. What is your response? Ensure that there is enough police to safely contain the protest. Address the crowd and let them know why the government cannot afford self-determination. Address the crowd and let them know the government's next steps towards self-determination. Review the laws that allowed them to protest and make it harder for them to protest again. Politicians like to be heavy-handed. They think this wins them brownie points at the next election. But the right thing to do is to help Aboriginal people with self-determination as they know best what works in their communities. politics You are the newly elected prime minister and have to allocate financial resources. Which area of Aboriginal life do you invest the most in? Incarceration rates Bi-lingual education Alcohol abuse Stolen wages Politicians cut rather than spend. All of these areas desperately need money, but Aboriginal prison rates need urgent attention because they are at crisis levels. politics As the new prime minister you have inherited the Northern Territory intervention. What is your next move? Consult with my Aboriginal Advisory Board about how to continue the measures best. Conduct a poll in the affected communities to find out what works and what doesn't. Increase funds for the community managers so they can better support the people. Stop the entire intervention and return community control to Aboriginal people. Politicians lack the strength to admit they are wrong. None of the main political parties stopped the NT intervention despite it being flawed from the beginning, and the only way to empower the affected communities again is to help them handle their own affairs. politics You are opening a new swimming pool in your electorate. What would be an appropriate gesture of respect? Invite an Aboriginal elder to perform a Welcome to Country. Invite successful Aboriginal people to celebrate their achievements. Have an Aboriginal musician play the didgeridoo. Invite an Aboriginal person to do some storytelling. Politicians love stereotypical gestures. Imagine the message you sent if you would celebrate successes and achievements of Aboriginal people and help fight the negative stereotypes which are still in many heads? Share your result!
